Let [x] denote greatest integer less than or equal to x. If for n∈N,(1−x+x3)n=3n∑j=0ajxj, then [3n2]∑j=0a2j+4[3n−12]∑j=0a2j+1 is equal to:

Solution
The correct option is A1 (1−x+x3)n=3n∑j=0ajxj(1−x+x3)n=a0+a1x+a2x2+....+a3nx3n
Put x=1 1=a0+a1+a2+a3+a4+...+a3n⋯(1)
Put x=−1 1=a0−a1+a2−a3+a4....(−1)3na3n⋯(2)
From (1)+(2) ⇒a0+a2+a4+a6+...=1
From (1)−(2) ⇒a1+a3+a5+a7+⋯=0
Now [3n2]∑j=0a2j+4[3n−12]∑j=0a2j+1=(a0+a2+a4+⋯)+4(a1+a3+⋯)=1+4×0=1
